Description

Escape the city for a day and immerse yourself in the natural beauty and rich heritage of County Wicklow on this unforgettable day tour from Dublin. Our journey begins with a visit to the magnificent Powerscourt House and Gardens, often ranked among the top gardens in the world. Nestled at the foot of the Great Sugar Loaf Mountain, Powerscourt offers sweeping views and perfectly manicured grounds that stretch over 47 acres. Guests can stroll through the Italian and Japanese gardens, admire the ornate fountains, and explore the grand estate house, with its boutique shops and café. After your visit to Powerscourt, we take a short trip to the nearby village of Enniskerry, a charming spot full of traditional character. Here, you'll have time to relax and enjoy lunch at one of the local cafés, such as the cosy and much-loved Poppies Café, known for its homemade fare and friendly service. After lunch, we journey deep into the heart of Wicklow Mountains National Park, traveling along scenic mountain roads through sweeping valleys and heather-clad hills. We’ll pause at the PS I Love You Bridge, made famous by the romantic film, before continuing to the remote and atmospheric Sally Gap. From this elevated viewpoint, the views are simply stunning—especially of Lough Tay, the so-called “Guinness Lake,” which lies nestled within the private Guinness Estate, framed by rugged mountains and bordered by a white sandy shore. Our final stop of the day brings us to the serene and ancient monastic site of Glendalough, set in a glacial valley surrounded by forest and two peaceful lakes. Founded by St Kevin in the 6th century, Glendalough is one of Ireland’s most important early Christian settlements. Explore the ruins of round towers, churches, and stone crosses as your guide brings the history of this sacred place to life. You'll also have free time to wander the picturesque walking trails, take in the natural beauty, or simply enjoy a quiet moment by the lake. Throughout the day, your experienced and friendly guide shares insights, stories, and a touch of Irish humour, making this Wicklow tour a perfect blend of nature, history, and authentic local charm—just a short journey from Dublin.
